The first real snow fell yesterday. I'm know that I'm old now when my first thought was "pain in the ass". I can really feel the weather change in my knuckles. They feel tight and I have to pop the more and more. I walked my son to school as I do most mornings. He's old enough to walk by himself , but I like to walk him about half the time. He's enjoying the snow. He's all bundled in his snow pants and hoodie jacket he was warm. As a kid I waled about 2 blocks to school and in High school I would walk near a mile. I remember the cold on my face and ice forming on my still wet hair. I don't really remember too much of it.
I know I'm just starting to get weird because of the lack of sunlight. We still have 19 days to go until the darkest day and winter starts. The darkness affects me because I sit next to a large window for the bulk of the day. Its just soooo depressing to see the Sun set at 4:15pm. The kids just got home from school and its Sundown. I think I need to get some full spectrum bulbs. I said the same thing last year but I didn't do it them either. It feels like we are fighting an invasion. The Sun sets and the shades are drawn, doors are shut tight and the outside light is put on. All this at 4:30 pm.....
Part of me want to move to Mexico and get away from the wind and snow. A second part want to move in to a cabin by a lake and just watch the sunset off the water. I doubt I'll get a chance to retire the way things are now. If I'm lucky I'll drop dead at work and just call it a day.....
Folks - no worries , its just the dark creeping in on me..........
